"The Curse of Frankenstein" is "the film that started it all," Christopher Lee said. Indeed, this exciting classic from Britain's Hammer Studios almost singlehandedly revived screen gothic horror and initiated a series of scream hits pairing
Lee and Peter Cushing.

Baron Victor Frankenstein (Cushing) has discovered life's secret
and unleashed a blood-curdling chain of events resulting
from his creation: a cursed creature (Lee)
with a horrid face...and a tendency to kill.

"Peter Cushing is at the top of his game in 'The Curse Of Frankenstein',
one of the best Hammer horror pictures, ranking right up there with 'Horror Of Dracula', which was released a short time after 'Curse', and
also starred these two legends of the horror genre: Mr. Cushing and
Christopher Lee. Lee speaks not a word in 'The Curse Of Frankenstein',
but nonetheless makes a strong impact as the monster created by
Cushing. A solid supporting cast is on hand here as well, along with
good atmospheric sets. .... For a fan of horror pictures,
this one is 83 minutes of pure pleasure."
